Buzzing when bass is too close to cab?

[Ant_On_Bass]

Ok so i'm pretty much useless with electronics, and have discovered that I'm buzzing when I'm too close or pointed towards my cab with any of the basses i use? do any of you guys happen to know what would be causing that and also would a power conditioner solve the problem?

Are you using single-coil pickups? How close are we talking here?

[Ant_On_Bass]

Yeah single coil and in a bit of a crowded practice space so pretty close to be fair., this was it set up earlier.

You might need to think about improving the shielding on your basses but conventional single coils will always suffer a little with induced noise. Make sure you've got well shielded guitar cables as well.

I'd recommend a noise gate - that way the single coil noise can be clipped when the bass isn't producing sound - if the buzzing is a problem. Like HowieBass said, checking shielding and considering noiseless pickups (vs. traditional single coils) are good to look at.

Combo or head and cab? Not very convenient but if it's a head, try putting it on the floor.

Yeah i'ce sucked it up and bought some shielding, think i'll do the control panel cavity and the pickup cavities and see if that improves, if not noise gate and moving my head to floor may have to be another option :-D
